Across
  1. 2. emission tomography (PET): slightly radioactive substance is injected into the patient and detected by the scanner
  2. 4. resonance imaging (MRI): a computerized body scanning method that used magnetic resonance instead of X-ray radiation
  3. 9. portals: secure online websites that are established by a physician, health care facility, or other health care provider
  4. 10. mail: e-mail, process of sending messages from one computer to another
  5. 15. stress test: used for patients who cannot exercise, medication stimulates effect of exercise to increase blood flow and heart rate
  6. 16. through this system computers can be linked together
  7. 17. stress test: a small amount of radioactive substance such as thallium is given intravenously
  8. 18. something that uses a special software to perform high-speed math calculations
  9. 19. when a group of related records are combined
  10. 22. surgery: also known as computer-assisted surgery
  11. 23. learning: online teaching and learning environment that uses computer and the internet to allow teachers to present information and activities and, at times even engage and interact with students
  12. 26. stress test: an ECG runs while patients exercising, usually involved walking on a treadmill until a target heart rate is reached
  13. 28. (ECG): computerized interpretation system that produces visual pictures on a computer monitor and a printout of the electrical activity of a patient’s heart
  14. 30. assisted instruction (CAI): educational computer programming designed for individualized use
  15. 31. prescriptions sent electronically which allows for rapid dispensing of medications
  16. 33. therapy: therapy using high energy particles to decrease size of tumors and treat cancer

Down
  1. 1. stress test: used for patients who cannot exercise, medication stimulates effect of exercise to increase blood flow and heart rate
  2. 3. guided surgery (IGS): a surgical procedure in which a surgeon uses preoperative and intraoperative images to guide or direct surgery
  3. 5. hundreds of computers linked together in a large healthcare facility or the ultimate networked system
  4. 6. tomography (CT): introduced in 1972, a noninvasive computerized X-ray that permits physicians to see clear, cross-sectional views of the bone and body tissues
  5. 7. programs that contain instructions to alter the operation of computer programs, erase or scramble data on the computer or allow access to information on the computers
  6. 8. information entered into areas
  7. 11. literacy: basic understanding of how a computer works and the applications used in your field or profession
  8. 12. organized collection of information
  9. 13. each collection of related information
  10. 14. power supply (UPS): protects a computer from electrical surges and power outages
  11. 20. aided design (CAD): using three-dimensional imaging models to make prosthetics or artificial parts
  12. 21. uses technology to direct ultrahigh-frequency sound waves through the chest wall and into the heart
  13. 24. involves use of video, audio, and computer systems to provide medical or health care services
  14. 25. protective programs that limit the ability of others computer to access a computer
  15. 27. an applied science used to promote an individual’s safety and well-being by adapting to the environment and using techniques to prevent injuries.
  16. 29. a noninvasive scanning method that used high-frequency sound waves that bounce back as an echo when they hit different tissues and organs inside the body
  17. 32. health record (EHR): a computerized version of a patient's medical information that may include statistical data (name, address, telephone number, insurance information, etc), diagnoses, medical history, treatments, medications taken, tests performed, and any other info. That could be included in the patent’s paper record
  18. 34. Information exchange (HIE): allows all health care agencies to readily transfer patient electronic health records between agencies in a national network
